DIR. A. j. Quinn, coroner saw the body of

the physicians who held the autopsy.

B. W. Armstrong, clerk to the chief of

| Burlington the Monday before the murder and
in Minneapolis the Thursday evening before,
when Moore said he was going to Dakota.

and wash at the Davis house about or 6
O'Clock on the night of the murder. He did
not notice anything unusual or peculiar about
the act.
At this point Judge Egan said he had nc
more evidence except that of the physicians.
He had expected DR.. Quinn to be present
and give additional testimony as to the
nature Of MOore's injuries. He was not
present and after the court had waited foi
half an hour, Judge Egan said he would
rest his case with the understanding that
DR.. Quinn might be called later.
Il would prefer not to open for the defense
until the prosecution has its evidence all in, -
| SAID Mr.. Ryan. In cases Of this kind the
wish of the defense will be Observed" said
the court.
THE DEFENSE WILL BE SHORT.
There was some talk as to holding court
to-day. Judge Wilkin remarking that al
though it was New Years. he would be
willing to occupy the bench to save time.
Mr.. Ryan said that he was hardly pre-
pared to begin the defense, and that he
might more fully prepare himself, he would
prefer an adjournment until Monday.
Judge Wilkin accordingly adjourned court
until Monday at 10 O'Clock. To GLOBE
reporter Mr.. Ryan said that the defense
would be brief. In fact it had occurred to
him to let the case go to the jury without
making any defense. He was asked if
Martin would be put on the witness stand,
and he said he was not sure whether he
would or not. Mr.. Ryan gave no mt at
the nature of the defense. The trial has
worn on Martin somewhat, and while he
gives evidence of no more emotion than
on the first day, his face seems thinner. and
his eyes bit more restless. 1t is the re-
mark of all who see him that, innocent OF
guilty, he is a man of wonderful nerve.
